Kevin Nolan has left West Ham United by mutual consent with immediate effect.

Nolan wasn't get a lot of playing time this season and hit the wrong side of 33 earlier this summer. The midfielder has played 157 matches for the club, scoring 31 goals in the meantime. He is currently looking for a job at another club but is intent on being promised consistent playing time. It's unlikely anyone promises Nolan consistent playing time in the Premier League, so you can safely drop him in all fantasy leagues. Thu, Aug 27, 2015 12:35:00 PM

West Ham have a chance to bounce back after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa last weekend.

The Hammers face Everton and Newcastle in the last two weeks of the season and have a chance to bounce back after a horrific performance against Villa. Their highest scoring fantasy player last weekend as James Collins at five points, so there is only one way to go from here, and that's up.

West Ham have signed Anderlecht midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate on a four-year deal.

Kouyate is a 24 year-old Senegal international who comes in with experience at a young age. He's played in the Champions League and on the international stage and can bring some of the same things Victor Wanyama brought to Southampton in terms of experience and leadership. This is West Ham's second signing of the summer and joint chairman David Sullivan said he expects the club to make at least four more signings before the end of the transfer window. West Ham are desperately trying to improve and have set an ultimatum for manager Sam Allardyce to finish in the top 10. Expect improvement.

Kevin Nolan is backing West Ham manager Sam Allardyce to keep his job in the midst of rumors around the manager's future.

West Ham had a disappointing Premier League season, finishing in 13th place and only seven points ahead of the relegation zone. The truth is, they were missing their best striker, Andy Carroll, for the majority of the season. They lacked creativity and speed in attack and it was more of a problem with the roster than with the managerial decisions. West Ham are extremely solid in the back and can find themselves in the top 10 next season with just one or two attack minded signings this summer.

Kevin Nolan found himself in the middle of another West Ham win after he scored and assisted on the way to a 3-1 victory over Southampton.

Nolan has been frustrating to own lately because of his inconsistency, but this was one of his better displays. The goal and assist give him another double digit performance and it seems like Nolan will continue rolling as long as West Ham keep scoring. Carlton Cole also registered a goal and an assist after being questionable with an injury concern. Cole's value is low since Andy Carroll is expected to return from suspension next week.

Kevin Nolan was taken out of the West Ham's game against Aston Villa as a precautionary move and he is likely to face Norwich tomorrow.

Nolan will be checked again tomorrow but it seems he is more likely to plan than not. He has scored two braces in a row and is West Ham's main threat without striker Andy Carroll available. Norwich are extremely poor defensively and Nolan has an opportunity to extend his goal scoring streak to three games.

Kevin Nolan scored his second brace in a row to give West Ham a 2-0 win over Aston Villa.

In the first half, both Villa and West Ham played like they'd never score a goal again but Kevin Nolan changed that within three minutes in the second half. Steward Downing played a fantastic ball into the box and Nolan was able to flick it into goal in the 46th minute. Minutes later, Nolan stole the ball from Fabian Delph and curled it in past Brad Guzan for the second and last goal. Nolan is dangerous when he catches fire and it wouldn't be a bad idea to give him a go against a poor Norwich City side.

Kevin Nolan scored both of West Ham United's goals in the first half of their 2-0 victory over Swansea City.

It has been a struggle of a campaign for Nolan, having scored just twice before today, but he did the business for the Hammers, assisted by Andy Carroll both times. The first goal started with a long pass from George McCartney who picked out Carroll, and the big man headed it into path of Nolan. Then in the waning moments of the first half, a Stewart Downing corner was again headed by Carroll to Nolan, who finished with his own head. Keep an eye on Nolan for future home fixtures, where he has an excellent scoring record.

West Ham have signed AC Milan's Antonio Nocerino on loan until the end of the season.

The Hammers have decided to strengthen their squad that currently sits in 18th place in the Premier League. They have been struggling to attract talent to their side but the signing of Nocerino should be a step in the right direction. Nocerino is in a slump himself but Sam Allardyce hopes he can get him out of it by pairing him with Andy Carroll. Nocerino's most successful period was when he played behind Zlatan Ibrahimovih. Andy is no where near close to Ibrahimovic's quality, but hopefully Nocerino and him can form a lethal partnership that takes the Hammers out of the relegation zone.

Kevin Nolan will return from a three match ban that was given to him for his second red card of the season.

Nolan is an important player in the West Ham midfield and he raises Andy Carroll's value with his passing and control of the game. As of right now, no West Ham player should be owned in Yahoo! fantasy, but if Nolan and Carroll begin working well together there could be possible value to be had in the future.

Kevin Nolan was sent off near the end of the first half for West Ham and it would prove to be their undoing as Fulham eventually dropped the Hammers 2-1.

Nolan had begun to heat up, coming off a 1 goal, 2 assist performance and the matchup with Fulham was as good of one anyone could ask for but a violent conduct foul on Fernando Amorebieta ruined the opportunity and he is now set to miss the next three games, one of which will be an FA Cup match this weekend. Sadly, West Ham's best attacking performance of the day may have belonged to Jussi Jaaskelainen, who along with making nine saves, provided the assist for the Hammers only goal.

Kevin Nolan was involved in all of West Ham United's goals today, scoring once and assisting twice in a thrilling 3-3 draw with West Bromwich Albion.

It was a roller coaster ride for West Ham fans today. They took an early lead when Nolan set up Jole Cole for his 3rd goal of the season. Then the tide turned when James Tompkins limped off with a groin injury and Sam Allardyce had to employ four fullbacks on his back line. The defense was then exposed as West Brom scored twice before the end of the first half and the Hammers looked to be heading for a loss. Then in a span of two minutes in the second half, Nolan and Modibo Maiga set each other up for goals with Nolan scoring the go ahead. However, the Baggies would level the game and West Ham settled for the draw. Nolan had an assist last time out and is finally beginning to heat up. With Fulham up next, he looks like an interesting prospect.
